Easy-to-use Drag N Drop Interface
VIMACS Catalog uses  a fast and efficient user interface. Select from multiple existing layouts and the layout of the catalog is displayed on your computer screen. Just point-and-click. Create your own custom headers, backgrounds, etc.

Standards
VIMACS TM was designed from the beginning to adhere to published software standards. The data is stored in Microsoft Access TM format so you don’t have to worry about your data becoming obsolete or stranded in an out of date program. You can share the data and images with most Microsoft Office TM compatible products.

Internet
You can export your catalogs as HTML files and use them on your website, no additional programming is required. 

CD-ROM Catalogs
You can send your catalogs out on CD ROM, which will start as soon as  your customer inserts the CD.  No additional software is needed or installed. 

In the future, if it becomes necessary to add more items to an existing  CD-ROM catalog, VIMACS will scan this directory first to see if any existing catalogs are present, if it finds any, VIMACS will add the additional catalog to the current catalogs and re-create the menu structure of the CD-ROM catalog file to reflect the new items.  This allows the user to add items and keep the CD ROM catalog up to date without redoing the entire layout.

For more advanced needs, the images and databases created by VIMACS TM are ready to be used on the Internet. You can have a searchable catalog on the Internet, with the ability to take orders from the Internet.

Use The Images For
Web-sites, Mailers, Flyers, Appraisals, Insurance and Inventory.

VIMACS SharpCatalog Detailed Features

  • Fully integrated with VIMACS, data entry and images can be entered, modified on either application, on the same computer or on the network, no need to import or export,  the data is 100% shared between the applications.

  • SharpCatalog is a true 32 bit program, runs on Win 95, 98, NT4.0, Windows 2000

  • Complete inventory database

  • Extensive query capability of database, once the results of the query are obtained, one button will create a Catalog from the results.  (this is very powerful feature, and our customers really like this feature)

  • Database is MS Access format, so customers can use the info in other MS Office products

  • Easy to use drag n drop interface for beginners

  • Images are stored as JPEG's, outside the database.

  • Catalog files are simple text files, images are not stored in the cat files, thus one image can be used in 100's of different catalogs, but only one image is stored on the hard disk, this saves space and allows the application scale to multiple systems without problems.

  • Unlimited inventory size

  • 5k thumbnails are created for each image

  • Directory Browser allows existing images to be used in catalogs instantly, no need to import.

  • Automatic scaling of all images, so any size image can be used in the catalog, even different size images can be mixed in the same page.

  • Any size image can be captured, not just a few predetermined sizes

  • Auto detection of screen resolution, allows SharpCatalog to run on any screen size.

  • Designed to be networked from inception, the images, databases, and catalog files can all be stored on a central server and accessed by multiple SharpCatalog and Gemsoft Systems at the same time (max is 255 concurrent sessions)

  • Has native support for Snappy! and control of all Snappy! hardware parameters.

  • You can leave the Snappy settings screen open and Snap pictures at the same time for quick fine tuning of the parameters

  • Has live Snappy preview for positioning and sizing the picture, we found this useful since Snappy actually captures a slightly larger image than what is shown on a monitor connected to the pass through or S-video.

  • TWAIN support built in for most other video capture devices, no need to import.

  • Windows clipboard support.

  • Support other image formats such as pcx, bmp, fractal, tiff in catalogs without the need to import.

  • Trim function, this will remove 5% of the perimeter of an image, and then scale the image to make it appear larger, very useful for getting rid off the garbage around the edge caused by many capture devices, also allows you to zoom out, capture at very high resolution, then trim away the outsize, this gives very good depth of field in the image.

  • Appraisals can be printed, a copy is stored on the database for future reference or printing.

  •  Catalogs can be saved as HTML files, no need to use another program to create web pages

  • Automatic creation of CD-ROM  catalogs with auto insert launch of the catalog.

  • Smart Clipboard allows the temporary storage of unlimited pictures with the info, so users can easily move pictures between different catalogs

  • Any jpg can be used for the header, footer and image background, SharpCatalog will stretch the image to fit,  the size is not critical, but should be close.

  • You can turn of the background for printing just plain white catalogs, looks clean, prints very fast and saves ink.

  • Can change the header text just by clicking on it.

  • Can use Style Number for pictures option, this way one picture can be used for different stock numbers with the same style
